About 4,000 illegal immigrants of various nationalities enter the US
through the southern border daily. The INS interdicts only about 20%
of them.

The INS interdicts 0% of them, because the INS doesn't exist anymore and
hasn't for a while now (since the DHS was created a couple of years back.)
It would be CBP (Customs and Border Protection), a department of DHS,
that intercepts illegals.

Thanks for the information.

A rose by any other name is still a rose....

Perhaps the DHS could have better spent some of that $500,000.00 of
taxpayers' money they spent partying on patrolling the borders:

VIGILANTE AIR FORCE COMBATS ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS
A California man has assembled a vigilante air force and army to
patrol an area of the Mexican border used frequently by illegal
immigrants. James Gilchrist says that so far 16 pilots have offered
themselves and their aircraft to help out the Minuteman Project, which
he hopes will embarrass the government into stopping "the endless mob
of illegal aliens streaming across our borders like a tsunami." The
aircraft and up to 400 volunteers will patrol an area south of Tucson
that is considered particularly prone to border jumping. Gilchrist
said the volunteers will use binoculars, telescopes and night-vision
gear to spot the aliens and report them to immigration officials. They
won't try to turn them back themselves.
